Making Holiday Plans

Monday night was fairly uneventful. I was still feeling crunchy from my antics on Sunday so I just took it easy. We had BLTs with Turkey bacon for din din.  I peeked at the scale and luckily my weight is down so I am hoping to keep the downward trend for my weigh in on Friday.

Since we are on the cusp of the holidays, I took the liberty of making plans for my mom and Dave and I. For Thanksgiving we will be having dinner at Mariani's at 4:00 p.m. and then going to Dave's sister's house for dessert and coffee. The good thing is that they options besides turkey. I am not really a turkey fan and I don't like gravy so most likely I will have salmon.

Since my dad passed away in 1999 my mom and I have opted not to be home for Christmas. We have gone to Las Vegas, Reno, The Mexican Riviera, Santa Barbara and San Francisco a few times. This year we are going to see Shrek the Musical in San Francisco at the Orpheum Theatre on Christmas Eve at 2:00 p.m. Instead of staying overnight we will just drive home and then I will spend the day with Dave and his family on Christmas Day.

I think I am going to go see Bruce (bio-father) tonight. I sent him a Halloween card, letter and a picture of me early last week. I am hoping that he will allow me to have access to his medical records etc. because I believe he needs someone to advocate for him.  He isn't even exactly sure why he is in the facility so I would like to find out for him. I would understand if he didn't want me to though. As far as he is concerned, I am a stranger and he may think I have ill intentions. I will be honest and say that I want access to his medical information for my own knowledge too but I just want to help him if I can. Lani (the nurse) talked to him and suggested he go off site for a meal or something with me and he said that was a good idea. According to her, he has not been outside of the facility since he arrived in January! Yikes! That is wayyyyyy too long! Until next time...
